Strike calls
Hang around watching baseball stuff long enough, you will hear everything.
One of the better baseball umpires in the Seattle area (good enough to want to recruit him to do fastpitch/slowpitch) is really wonderful...and then you hear his called strike:
"HEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee." Very loud, very high pitched.
Had an umpire from Netherlands for the LLJWS up here...his out calls on the bases sounded like "HYET!" We asked him, semi-seriously, if that was Dutch for "out," but never got a straight answer from him.
